In the significant match against Pakistan, the Indian team won the coin toss and chose to field first. The team made a single change, with Shubman Gill returning to the lineup, while Ishan Kishan, who opened with Rohit Sharma in the first two matches, was left out.
The Indian team, after winning their first two World Cup matches, opted to make minimal changes to their squad. Shubman Gill was unable to play against Australia and Afghanistan due to dengue infection. However, Rohit Sharma indicated positively that Shubman Gill is fit and will likely play against Pakistan. Shubman Gill has been in excellent form, impressing in the Asia Cup and the limited overs series against Australia.
Both India and Pakistan are in terrific form in this tournament, having won their first two matches. Pakistan defeated Netherlands in their first match and Sri Lanka in their second, while the Indian team secured victories against Australia and Afghanistan in their opening matches.
